"And sometimes you'll talk to a new kid you've never seen before and act like you've known them for years," said one youngster.

"I've been preparing for this game for 364 days," Lowe said. "I'm dead serious."

"It's exciting and nervousing at the same time," said another youngster.

"I haven't missed it in the past 7 or 8 years," said alumnus Andrew Bragg.

For him, not much can stop the wave.

"In order for the younger generation to understand what its like to be a Green Wave, you have to show them that even though I graduated two years ago and even though this is old to me," he said, "I still show up to support them and show them what it really means to be a green wave."
